Triumph launches Street Triple

Triumph confirmed rumors a new Street Triple is on the way for the North American market in a press release this morning. Deriving from the iconic Speed Triple streetfighter and the award-winning Triumph Daytona 675 Supersport, the Street Triple will be a 675cc bike.

With an expected MSRP of $7,999, the Street Triple will be the most affordable of all Triumph sports bikes.

The new motorcycle will initially be available to North American customers through a priority reservation program. Customers can place an order at any authorized Triumph dealership. Orders will be accepted as of July 1 and the first units will be delivered in October.

The new Street Triple will make its first North American appearance July 20 to 22 at the Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix at the Laguna Seca Raceway in Monterey, Calif. The official factory operated website for the Street Triple, www.triumphstreettriple.com, will provide customers with more information on the bike and is scheduled to go live in late June.
